Best Storage
The cupboard is the best place to store spices.
Spices should be stored in an airtight container or jar, in a cool dry place and away from direct sunlight.
Can I Freeze It?
Yes.
A fresh spice like ginger can be stored in the freezer and grated from frozen.
Use It Up
Spices last for years, but as they lose their potency you may need to use a little more than your recipe states if the spice is past its best before date.
Did You Know?
Make your own chai spice blend and use it to brew a chai latte or turmeric latte.
Extra spices can be made into packs of pickling spice or mulled wine spices.
